Tanghalang Pilipino announces open auditions for the
spine-tingling play, BAKERETTA (Ghost Operetta), to be
directed by the playwright himself, multi-awarded
screenwriter and one of Japan’s most exciting theater
directors, Chong Wishing.

Auditions will be held on August 5, 2006, from 2:00 PM
to 9:00 PM, at the Bulwagang Amado Hernandez
(Conference Room), Upper Ground Floor, CCP Main
Building, CCP Complex, Roxas Blvd., Pasay City.

The director will be in Manila to personally screen
male and female actors ages 18 and up. Auditionees
must prepare a 3-minute monologue in Filipino from any
published local or foreign play, a movement piece and
a song. All interested actors must bring their updated
resume with their most flattering colored headshot.

Applicants must be available for the production
schedule, with rehearsals running for five weeks prior
to the opening on October 20, 2006 at the Sinag Arts
Studio and a second run at the Tanghalang Huseng
Batute (CCP Studio Theater) from November 10 to 26,
2006.

A co-production with the Japan Foundation and Sinag
Arts Studio, Bakeretta is a psychological thriller,
somewhat in the tradition of Japanese horror films
like Ring and The Grudge, but with a quirky, musical
twist! An amateur theater company rehearses a modern
ghost (bake) story – The Ghost in the Toilet and the
mounting pressures of opening night get mixed up with
their personal dramas, comedies and horrors.

For inquiries, please call the TP office at 832-3661
or 832-1125 locals 1620/1621.
